Photoshop of Horrors: Wired Readers Show BP How It’s Done

We asked you last week to help us show BP that when hiring unethical photographers (or photo editors) in the future, they should look for Photoshop proficiency on their resumes.

In response, you put the company’s pathetic photo-doctoring of oil-cleanup press photos to shame. Your work was not only more skilled, it was far more imaginative. Why just remove the ground beneath a parked helicopter when you could put that chopper on the moon instead?

As Kanye West would probably tell BP, “Ima let you finish your top kill, but … ”

We’ve got some of the best, most clever and funniest of your work in this gallery, but if you want to see more, including some great ones that were too small to include here, check out the submissions at the bottom of last week’s call for submissions.

I’m pretty sure this is the original image. If you take a look at the EXIF data (download the photo), Tony Hayward is listed as the creator. I guess CEOs really need to have Photoshop skills these day.

Also, nice to see Tony using all resources, including Amazon, to purchase “Oil Gone Easy Cleanup.” Good job, Tony!
